Just found all my old transformers, how can i find out what they are worth? all of them are G1 i think from 1984 when i was a kid, all of them have their original boxes and packaging (i was a neat freak when i was little) Ones i saw when looking into my boxes were Megatron, soundwave and jetfire, there are about 6-10 other ones also
thanks for any help, ill try and get some pictures of them up.

not sure if i should sell them or just hang onto them longer.

If you have Jazz or Hound, you should sell them... to me! ;)

j/k

I am sure Time Traveller or Jose will be along soon to help you in this matter. Also check out the wanted items list, under the store link here. You may have something that would be worth a pretty penny to someone. After all, with collectables, they are worth whatever someone is willing to pay for them.

With boxed transformers, presuming they're all complete and in nice shape, a lot of the price boils down to the condition of the box. In order to determine if they're complete, look under the listings in the right sidebar here, under where it says "Transformers Lines". Go under each header and look up the figs you have, then see if you have all the parts listed.
To get started, here's which characters will be in which category:
Autobot cars:
Jazz
Sunstreaker
Blurr
Ratchet
Insecticons:
Chop Shop
Kickback
Leaders:
Megatron
Cassettes and players:
Soundwave
Multi-Changers:
Blitzwing
Astrotrain
Dinobots:
Grimlock
Snarl
Other:
Jetfire
Topspin
Perceptor

Regarding the Autobot cars, the big difference has to be made on the bubble rather than the box itself. While the reissues have dropped their prices drastically and the cardboard carcasses can be bought from USD 15 and less, the bubbles (the blisterpack inside the box) can fetch easily USD 50 if they are in good condition.

Jetfire can be bought for not too much, but if it has the gun clip, jackpot. If it's white, jackpot.

We need further details on what's the condition and completeness of what you have.

So they did, god bless the resident toy experts!!

Another way to do it is find the figures here and then if, as Jose and says the bubble is in A1 condition double it!! If you decide to sell them there are a few wolves sniffing around. Including me!!

BTW Welcome aboard, good to see you.

:oops: No, I just messed up with redaction. Pow! I meant, if the gun clip was there, great. If Jetfire itself was white - not yellowed -, great. A white gun clip would be a reproduction.
